Samba?

[gultig]

I'll back up gunite from personal experience in that it'll say that the whole update failed, while it was only the update of one repository that actually failed.

There is actually no need for samba for this. You only need cifs.ko kernel module to mount SMB/CIFS filesystem on N770. Then you can insmod it and write soemething like
mount -t cifs //x.x.x.x/share /localdir -o domain=x,user=x,password=x
in osso-xterm (as root). Works for me. Cifs module for IT2006 is here (copy and paste to URL bar, direct link would cause permission denied) http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/cifs.tgz

fanoush,
1. I got cifs.tgz, unpacked it (cifs.ko) and put to /lib/modules/ folder on Nokia. (modules folder created by me)
2. modprobe cifs.ko (modprobe: could not parse modules.dep)
3. depmode (depmod: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules//2.6.16-omap1/: No such file or directory)
4. mkdir 2.6.16-omap1
5. depmod (Nokia770-26:/lib/modules/2.6.16-omap1# ls
modules.dep) - 0 bite size
6. mount -t cifs //172.20.3.79/D$ /media/mmc1/Lan-Folder// -o codepage=cp1251,iocharset=utf8,username=administra tor,password=(***)
--- mount: Mounting //172.20.3.79/D$ on /media/mmc1/Lan-Folder failed: No such device

what wrong?
Thank You.

Use insmod with full module path, not modprobe.

Thanks, working great!

Milen: Sure, open the application manager, click on the Application manager title bar, Tool, Log...

Also, I can't grab cfis.tgz...

* Correction: I can't grab cfis.tgz from the 770. Weird.

Sorry to be ignorant but how do you use samba once its installed. i have samba and samba client installed. Thanks in advance.

[Hedgecore]

- - they're installed on your 770? (Are the dependencies fixed?)

To use Samba, you'd mount the share just like you'd mount anything else. Stay tuned for the experts to correct me but it'd be something like this:

mount -t smb //computername/sharename /mnt/mountpoint -o username=yourusername,password=yourpassword

/mnt/mountpoint is the directory you've created on your 770 where you'd like the network share to appear.

*** Also: I got the cifs module installed, however whenever I get an error telling me my mountpoint isn't in fstab... now I can add it, but I didn't think I'd need to. What gives?

You should be a root to make mount without fstab changing. fstab contain rules for mounting File Systems.
Look at my post before, it working. insmod /yourpath/cifs.ko But change your locale and iocharset if it necessary (i use cyrillic codepage)
